10 Challenges for Artists & Bands

Pursuing a career in the Music Industry can be an amazing journey.  A career where you get to create, do something you love and ultimately share it with others.  This is why you wake up every morning and can't get rid of the feeling that this is what you want to do with the rest of your life.  

But anyone that has embarked on this crazy journey knows that the process of achieving your music dreams is filled with challenges.  From starting off working crazy jobs to enable you to buy equipment, wondering if you will ever write another original song or somehow organising a small group of people that are so different in every way and calling yourselves a band.

The process is full of challenges, (but you don't care) because this is a passion that has grabbed you at the core of who you are.  As I coach Artists and Bands I hear many of the same challenges, some of them may sound familiar to you.

1. There is something important we need to talk about as a band but I don't know how to bring it up.
2. ​I have so many things on the go, how am I going to get it all done?
3. How do we keep the band together long term, are we all committed to this?
4. I'm wearing so many hats, how do I stay focused on my goals?
5. How do I stay creative and keep writing original music?
6. How do we make the most of our current opportunities?
7. I want to do this for the rest of my life, but I don't know if I'm doing it right?
8. As a band, are we all on the same page?
9. We need someone to keep us accountable to our vision to produce our next project.
10. How do I generate new opportunities?

Let me say something you need to hear.  You are not alone in these questions and challenges.  You are not doing this wrong, these challenges are part of the journey.  It's not realistic to think you can navigate a career in the Music Industry avoiding these challenges but more realistically you can get support to navigate these challenges in a healthy and productive way.  

We have seen first hand how coaching can help an Artist or Band begin a process of clarifying their direction and then making and achieving tangible goals.  We want you to stay creative, sustainable and productive for longer.  We want you to stay energised to pursue your music dreams and make them a reality.  Coaching is an investment that we guarantee will change the way you see yourself, your creativity and your goals as an artist or band.
